Hey guys,
Can you collectively provide a list of the key issues with FC2 asap?

Cheers

=============== BUG FEEDBACK ================
General:
:: Fix issue with game launching in Windowed Mode (fullscreen=1)
:: Fix issues with keys not binding to actions properly in SP.
:: Fix issues with keys not binding to actions (or being reset) in MP.
:: Fix mouse acceleration issues.

Single Player:
:: AI not looking at you when shooting you.

Multiplayer:
:: Fix PB issues with 64bit clients
:: Fix the Server Name when joining ranked servers. Right now it shows the MAP NAME as the server name.


=============== DESIGN FLAWS ================
This is what the game needs to make it great...

Single Player:
:: Add Option to toggle tutorial tips on/off in SP

Multiplayer:
:: Proper Server List (to be expanded on)
-------> Add 'Favourites' server list
-------> Allow 'ALL' game modes to be shown (like FC1)
:: Linux Dedicated Server Files
:: Ability to see PING ingame on scoreboard
:: Ability to JOIN a game in progress
:: Ability to change online player name with support for clan tags
:: Ability to STRAFE (side stepping with ability to run and/or shoot)
:: Ability to Toggle Motion Blur on/off in MP (client side)
:: Ability to Cancel attempt to join server in MP.
:: Ability to change teams during a match if autobalance is enabled and teams arent balanced (ie: if players drop out/join after map is started).
:: Server Settings to:
------> Toggle Healing animation on/off
------> Toggle Commander voice on/off
------> Toggle Death Cam on/off (could give unfair advantage in clan games)
------> Toggle Respawn Cameras on/off (could give unfair advantage in clan games)
------> Restrict Class Weapons
:: Add ASSAULT as Uprising dilutes the action having 8vs8 spread over 3 areas of a map (even worse on servers not fully populated!)
:: Provide documentation on configuring SADS server
:: Stop kicking players off server at end of ranked match, just load up the next map!
:: Cant join games via XFire (not sure who is responsible for this)
:: Let players remove 'stupid brown box' on spawn using 'interact' key as opposed to using a timer.
:: It would be nice if server admins could set the damage model for MP weapons - even if they where hardcoded (ie: arcade, normal and hardcore), whereby 'hardcore' would require less hits to kill someone than 'arcade' would.
Proving since 2004 that winning has nothing to do with not dying or the ability to shoot [sh*t] ...

Do you just want comments from people who have actually played the 'released' product?

How ASAP do you need the list? - I may go buy it tomorrow and fully debug it over the weekend.

I can list some things from my Montreal experience and from what I've gathered on the UBI forums, but if your passing this list to the Ubi rep(s) then I guess most of the things I've read about on the Ubi forums are already noted - plus I told the devs in Montreal lol.

Is this with regards to what can be patched?

I swear ubisoft is the most stupid developer ive ever seen.
To release a game then 1 day after release ask for feedback

No, I just want feedback as to whether to buy it or not...















Stupid [muff].... :~

I'll take any comments that cant be attributed to the way that you have acquired the game. If its already been posted on the forum, then I probably have them but some of hte stuff I dont understand, like how is the browser FUBAR so if you can illustrate issues - which no one is doing so far that would also help...

@Mixu: dont think there will ever be a Linux version, but my memory of that announcement may be blurred by time.
"- strafe" What you mean by that? I see strafe as just using A or D while firing, do you mean something different?

Have edited Mixu's post to expand on 'strafe'.

Can someone with the game whose played MP please comment on the following:

:: Is there an ingame scoreboard (like FC1) and if so what info does it show (kill/death/ping, etc?)
:: Please expand on WHAT needs to be done with the server browser to improve it.
:: Can you set a ping limit when hosting a game?
:: What admins options are available in game? (ie: kick/ban/force team switch/change map, etc)
:: How does the vote system work in FC2 MP? Can you raise a new vote if a vote is already in motion? (its what dickheads use to do to stop them getting kicked off public servers whilst they tk'd - constantly raised votes)


* Will update Cuz's initial thread with points raised to make it easier to track all comments.

when you spawn in multiplayer a stupid brown box appears right in your line of fire for about 20 seconds telling you shite sometimes you die before it goes away, everything else has been mention.
